JL Audio f112 blown speaker?


I have/had a JL Audio f112 and I absolutely love it. About 3 months ago I changed my processor from a B&K Ref 50 to the new Classe SSP800.

About a month later my f112 started, for lack of a better term, started screeching, when I would play it. I have no idea what happend, but I unhooked the XLR connection and it would continue sporatically, even without any signal.

JL Audio was absolutely great. I sent it in and 5 days later a new one shows up at my door. Now after a month the same thing has happened with my new one.

I'm not playing them loud at all. I play video games, watch movies and listen to a lot of music.

Something is up and I am clueless what it is. It must be something in my system causing this. Any suggestions?

a) have you contacted your dealer?
b) since the JL factory has helped you already, are they helping you now?
c) if you have NOT done (a) or (b) why would you be asking on here?
d) The above poster Shadorne has a very good point. I suggest you carefully check your interconnects and also, if possible, examine or have someone examine the signal at the sub end of the cable with a scope to determine what is really going on. There have been instances where preamps do such things as oscillate outside the audio passband and put out lots of voltage while doing so.

If you need any additional assistance with this then please contact me.
